Celebrating WETLAB Anniversaries

We love celebrating around here, especially when we have the opportunity to celebrate our people. Congratulations to Sam, who recently celebrated his 5 year anniversary with WETLAB and to Nick, who reached a major milestone recently, celebrating 20 years with the company. You are both integral parts of our team and are so appreciated. Thank you for your dedication!


Welcome Aurora Lynn Pierce!

Gigi UNLV Training

We are excited to share that Gigi Herchik, our lab manager in Las Vegas, has begun continuing education courses at UNLV for their Management Certificate program. By the end of the program, she’ll have gained a comprehensive understanding of the tools a supervisor/manager must have to lead a team to its full potential.  Through these courses, Gigi will develop skills in conflict management, communications, people/team management, project management, and managing diversity in the workplace. Gigi’s dedication to further developing her leadership skills will undoubtedly benefit our team and enhance our service to you.


In Our Industry

 

Nevada Water Resources Association Conference

We had a great time at the annual NWRA conference in Las Vegas. We enjoyed keynote speakers, Senator Cleave Simpson, Rio Grande Water Conservation District and Adam Sullivan, P.E., Nevada State Engineer.

 


SME Annual Conference & Expo

McKenna and Nick had a great time in Phoenix last month showing off our new trade show booth at the annual SME Conference. The SME Annual Conference & Expo stands out as the premier platform for showcasing diverse mining research. The extensive Expo offers firsthand insights into cutting-edge mining technologies and advancements, fostering collaborative interactions with top industry vendors for innovative partnerships. We are always thrilled to be there!


2024 NvRWA Annual Training, Technical Conference and Expo

Mckenna completed a wonderful presentation with the State of Nevada regarding proper sample collection techniques at the 2024 NvRWA Annual Training, Technical Conference, and Expo, held in early March at the Nugget Resort Casino in Sparks.  This annual gathering remains an exceptional chance for participants to connect with vendors, enhance their expertise, accrue contact hours, and engage with peers in the Drinking and Wastewater sectors.
